PEÑA DE BERNAL IN QUERETARO MEXICO.

Barefooters

Hello, this weekend me and my wife traveled to Bernal, is a small town near México City where you can find the third biggest monolith in the world, you can find a path of rocks all the way up.

I was wearing my VFF but just a few steps before we start the ascent I decided to take them off (actually that was my original plan from the beggining but my wife wasn't all happy about that, she was worried about me getting injured by a rock) and it was great, the rocks were cold, some flats, some round, but the sensations were great, in some parts you could take the path or you could climb on some huge round rocks, (obviusly I choose the round rocks) that was no problem for my soles, they proved to have better grip than any shoe, I feel like Spiderman and get to the top faster and effortless than anyone there.

This is the Peña, it doesn´'t look that big, but once there, believe me, it is:

A part of the Path:

Some rocks:

Some dudes climbing:

The view of the town from the top:

And of course, this is me singing "Let it go" from the movie Frozen...
